For some reason, my "Tauntaun Rider on Hoth" animation from 2014 is getting reblogged quite a bit on Tumblr lately. Maybe it’s because of the icy temps outside. Who knows …
Tumblr … I really need to get back into that more often!

I respawn my Tumblr with them and a little poll.
Immediatly have three scams bots asking if I "do commissions". 🙃
Ok, lets get Wafrn out of the way first, that's a more Tumblr-like piece of the Fediverse I really like, and long term I'm figuring on leaving Friendica entirely. It does lack some of what Friendica offers, but little that I'll miss.
I've heard Friendica described as based on early Facebook, which I can believe because it really doesn't remind me of Facebook visually, rather I think its more akin to LiveJournal or Blogger. Great if'n you want to do long form posts and has lots of features you don't see on Mastodon, etc. On the other hand, the interface is clunky and disorganized, particularly the settings, if you just want to socialize I really recommend Mastodon or one of the other microblogs but not Diaspora.
Ehhh, don't have any RL friends, lets just say the real world is too peoply so I avoid it. I've found plenty of people I enjoy following, but few of those use Friendica, but that's the joy of the Fediverse, it doesn't matter what you use nor what they use, all y'all can follow each other.
Convincing people is hard, I've had no luck getting people to come over here so far.

Very long overdue, but I've started liveposting my thoughts on The Wandering Inn on Tumblr if anyone's interested. Thoughts that are too small and silly for Reddit. I figured I've found more fans there than here. #TheWanderingInn #Tumblr
BlueSky Is A Platform For Attention Whores With No Standards
I’m convinced that Bluesky is the platform for attention-whores who perform and humiliate themselves for validation and affirmation. It’s really sad. I don’t feel bad when bad things happen to them as a consequence because they were already warned, yet they prioritize fitting into a culture and refuse to deal with their feelings of inadequacy. The reason they stay is that the bar is low for meaningful engagement, allowing them to indulge in their obsessions and compulsions while being rewarded for self-destructive behavior. It truly is quite pathetic.
I initially joined Bluesky for the sexual content because people on Mastodon have little interest in sex and much more elaborate norms around sexuality. Contrary to what people think of me, I don’t actually use social media in the conventional way most people do. I view it on an abstract, non-algorithmically served layer via my network analysis tools, and I interact with YouTube in a very constrained way. So, I wasn’t aware of how bad things were until I started using Bluesky conventionally. The men on Bluesky are just plain repulsive to me. Desperation, neediness, lack of independence, and obsessively posting about a single topic (like sex, religion, or politics), instead of developing a genuine hobby that demonstrates skill, progress, and mastery, are major turn-offs. I find a lack of standards absolutely disgusting.
For example, if someone abhorrent gives you a compliment, you don’t accept it. If an abhorrent person follows you, you block them. Yet what I see are men posting sexual content and seeking attention and validation from anyone, regardless of who it’s coming from. If I look through someone’s activity and see nothing but low-effort posts interacting with nothing but sexual content or obsessive engagement with that type of content, I lose interest immediately.
A reason why my husband has held my attention for over a decade is that there is always something new with him. He is always randomly looking into developing a new skill. One day, he started randomly speaking Mandarin to me, which I did not know he knew how to speak. He had told me he had been learning Mandarin. Yes, my husband is neurodivergent and his interests are cars, but that doesn’t displace all other things. Another reason why my husband holds my attention is that he can keep a conversation going and match anyone’s changes. It’s not one ritualistic or compulsive thing every single fucking day.
A very real consequence of the lack of standards in gay sexual spaces, especially given that many misogynistic, homophobic far-right men suppress their homosexual attractions, is that many of the fetishes in gay sexual spaces are reminiscent of manosphere content. Because of what I do for a living, I have access to audience segmentation metrics and social embeddings of how content is served. Manosphere content clusters with homoerotic content that men consume. At some point, obsession became so normalized that people stopped realizing it was problematic.
Unless gay men set boundaries and tell manosphere bros, “we’re not having that,” you’ll see what I see on Bluesky. I’m actually very sexual myself, and I frequently go to bathhouses—those that have very explicit rules—sex parties, and orgies.
The funny thing is that I have had plenty of really deep philosophical conversations sitting in the hot tub of a bathhouse with naked gay men. Because of health codes and all that, you can’t do sexual things in the pool or the hot tub, so those areas were places for genuine play and conversation, while spots like the saunas were the fuck spots. I recall a particularly interesting conversation I had with an older gay man who had been going to that bathhouse since the ’80s. He explained to me the social context of the HIV epidemic and how, basically, no one knew it was sexually transmitted, so everyone was still barebacking at that exact same bathhouse we were in.
The issue here is people who fuck and sexually perform for awful people who want to murder them because they have absolutely no fucking standards and are so emotionally needy that they forgo all forms of self-preservation. I’m a computer scientist, so I have access to a lot of data tools. I can tell you for a fact that there is a strong correlation between men who want to murder gay men and trans people and the ones liking, engaging in parasocial dynamics with, and commenting in their replies. You’re willing to take sexual attention from people who want to kill you, and that blows my mind.
In their minds, Bluesky is better if it is not a Nazi strip bar but a Nazi BDSM-furry-kink club? What the ever-loving fuck?! Honestly, I watch a lot of feminist content that rips manosphere content apart, so much so that I can instantly recognize coded things. The “fuck no!” moment for me is when I saw manosphere-coded things being fetishized in the ego networks of large gay adult content creators and OnlyFans creators in social network embeddings. It’s not like it is insidious. If I see it, everyone else sees it; they are just ignoring it because they are prioritizing sexual validation and their obsessions.
Wafrn może próbować być jak tumblr, ale nigdy nie będzie mieć historii korporacji co go kupiły i potem żałowały tego, bo przez użytkowników mieli tylko straty XD
Tego aspektu wafrn nie może zdobyć...
Ale poza tym wafrn jest ok, po prostu tego szaleństwa historii tumblra brakuje 💁♀️
Dosłownie na tumblr zdarzyła się sytuacja, że pewna osoba dała ankietę o fetyszach (Z gwałtem? Nie wiem, czy dobrze zrozumiałam, mój angielski jest bardzo zły) i pod tym zbiórkę Palestyńskiej rodziny... Jedyne co ogarnęłam (Oprócz wątpliwej moralnie sytuacji...) to, że niby atakowała innych za reakcje na to i nazywała ich transfobami... Co jest z trumblrem i najbardziej dziwnymi transpłciowymi kobietami? WTF?
This is why you should respect our vets
